  Catalogue ManagerSM -- Eliminates the Hassle of Catalogue Management

Rich, accurate and searchable supplier catalogues are critical to successful procurement and purchasing systems. Receiving and managing supplier catalogues is no longer a burden with Perfect Commerce Catalogue Manager. It provides the tools to manage what historically has been a complex and exhausting process. The enhanced connectivity and content capabilities provided by Catalogue Manager are easily integrated into existing systems, optimizing current eProcurement and purchasing processes.

Efficient management of procurement content and catalogues is a key factor in the optimization of the purchasing process. It is imperative for companies to have a high-performance catalogue application to deliver the benefits of eProcurement. As a Web-based application, Catalogue Manager enables buyers to focus on content and contract prices as opposed to managing the disparate formats, classifications and delivery methods for their catalogues. In addition, Catalogue Manager quickly delivers efficiencies by eliminating the need to manage the technology and operational infrastructure of the application.

Using Catalogue Manager to automatically validate individual products, prices and classifications, it is now possible to rapidly monitor and approve changes, eliminating the need for in-house resources to painstakingly look for variances. Typically, it takes one dedicated FTE (full time employee) to manage only 10 catalogues. With Catalogue Manager, human resource needs are reduced, no matter how many supplier catalogues a company manages. Rather than spend valuable resources manually managing catalogue content, buyers can focus on approving catalogues and efficiently transferring them to their existing purchasing or procurement system.
